Battle of Houdilcourt

The Battle of Houdilcourt (3 July 1918) was a battle of World War I that occurred when the Allied forces of France, the United Kingdom (including the Scotland Forever Battalion), and the United States pushed the Imperial German Army back from the positions that they had acquired after the Battle of Auberive. The Allies captured the German Battle Trench and held it against a fierce counterattack, and they proceeded to launch a counterattack against the Deep Trenches. The Scottish soldiers showed their bravery in the battle, advancing down the right flank and pinning down counterattacking German troops. The Germans would eventually retake the Deep Trenches, but the battle was an Allied victory, as they had succeeded in taking the German front line.
